Saint Anselm (14-8-5, 3-0-2 NE-10) captures its third-straight NE-10 title and seventh conference championship in program history to close out its season. Stonehill end its season at 10-12-3 overall and 6-3-2 in NE-10 play.

McKillop led the Hawks offense with one goal and two assists factoring into Saint Anselm's first three goals of the contest. Junior forward Tucker Mullin (Andover, Mass.) notched one goal and one assist and freshman forward Sean Jenkins (Boston, Mass.) contributed two assists.

McKillop put Saint Anselm ahead 1-0 at the 4:26 mark of the first period as he converted a two-on-one opportunity beating Tasiopoulos with a forehand-to-backhand deke for his eleventh goal of the season. Jenkins set up the tally drawing Stonehill's only defenseman towards the right post before feeding McKillop for the scoring bid. Mullin was also awarded an assist.

The Hawks increased their lead at 16:16 on the power play as Mullin snuck in his eleventh goal of the season past Tasiopoulos, short-side blocker, for a 2-0 advantage. Jenkins and McKillop received assists by cycling the puck to Mullin near the goal line.

In the second period, sophomore forward Kevin Vanous (Virginia Beach, Va.) pushed the gap to 3-0 finishing on a one-timer feed in the slot from McKillop, who was stationed behind the net, at the 13:42 mark.

Carey answered for Stonehill at 17:28 of the stanza putting home a loose puck behind Kang, five-hole, near the right faceoff circle for his tenth goal of the season on the power play.

Stonehill's rally was short-lived as Saint Anselm responded just three minutes and 47 seconds into the third period as freshman forward Johnny Daniels (Andover, Mass.) sniped a wrist shot over Tasiopoulos shoulder, blocker-side, for his ninth of the season. Junior forward Tim King (Weymouth, Mass.) and classmate Mike Richard (Derry, N.H.) were credited with assists on the tally.
